Halloween is upon us once again, the start of the Holiday season as I see it....Where I live our home is set up on a hill and our driveway is pretty long I always imagineif I was REALLY into the ghosts and goblins scene our place would be the perfect spook driveway with a huge bubbling cauldron at the top with witches stirring it! and goblins coming out of the woods with eerie music...we'd be the talk of the town for the kids...On to Thanksgiving and Christmas...never to early to start that Christmas shopping and what better gift then a floorcloth or make your own I have a 20% sale on blank floorcloths good till Nov 30th 2009. you could make one and give it as a gift.....I've just begun another Octagon Floorcloth 80 inches in diameter it will be the Grapes and Ivy design in colors matching my clients decor she lives in MD and her name is Marilyn..love it.I have another Octagon on tap my client and I are ironing out the details with a few samples so she can see what they would look like in her kitchen.That's it for this week ....If your interested in Xmas gifts please shop early! Have a great week.Best,Cameron

Columbus day weekend is by far one of the busiest weekends in the State of Vermont....The foliage is at it's peak or very close to it. The restaurants and Inns are usually full to capacity. Stores have their annual tent sales and craft fairs are everywhere. It is the perfect time to visit Vermont and see all the wonderful artisians and their work, you can usually visit their studios if you call ahead...Please, your more then welcome .... anytime, just call me and I'll give you directions. 802-874-7288...

At the moment you'd be able to see me finishing two large floorcloths a traditional black and pale yellow checkerboard pattern for a clients foyer in Virgina, we matched the pale yellow color exactly to her wall colors. I've also just finshed an Octagon with just the colors of the Paisley pattern clients have opted out of the design itself we again matched their wall colors so it blends nicely in their kitchen. When both of them are on their way we will be starting another Octagon with the Grapes and Ivy pattern using colors to match this clients kitchen also. So, if your in the area please stop by and check us out!Cameron

I'm always reading other peoples blogs, like most of us do, I guess and wonder...well are they really personal notes or should they be business orientated. ...I presume, maybe I shouldn't that you'd like to hear about my floorcloths but then again maybe a little personal touch here and their would be a little more catching.......What are your thoughts on blogging?The other thing about blogs is they DO spark my curiosity so I always click on someones blog but 9 times out of 10 the persons blog has not been written in since gosh knows when and I always think gosh why have a blog if your not going to use it........ I was pretty excited when I first started this blog...Well, you can see I have fallen completely into the realm I detest the most "why have a blog if your not going to use it"......Thus my new start and commitment to you my clients and friends to blogging once a week....I hope you help me stick to this schedule...Blog Back ..love to hear from you!Next week see ya then

Creativity has always been the most traveled road for me. My hands were always into some crafty project as a child and young adult, and now it still continues as an adult. Putting the pot on the back burner I segued from my professional career as a French Chef, for 25yrs into creating Dunberry Hill Designs.A new passion for decorative painting helps me to create these wonderful Floorcloths.
